UFO: Star-like Object Seen In Corner Brook, NL

On 3 August, a strange event was reported in the small city of Corner Brook, Newfoundland.

According to an anonymous testimony sent to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) online database, “a star-like object” was seen moving across the sky.

“I took my dog out for a walk at 11:00 p.m. Once I crossed the road and walked along a side road, I looked up at the clear night sky. There were what I assumed were two stars clearly visible, about 40 degrees in the sky from where I was walking, but I noticed that it looked like they were moving apart”, the author of the report related.

According to this person, he later realised that one of the objects was stationary, but the other was actually performing unusual movements. “One star, it looked like a star. I looked for it the next night, and it was there in the same position, stayed stationary; while the other object that appeared to be another star, glowing white, appearing to be the same size as the [actual] star was moving away from it heading southeast on a horizontal path”, the witness explained. “It moved southeast on a horizontal path at a pace that seemed about twice as fast as a jetliner when observed from the ground”, he added.

“It headed southeast on a horizontal path towards the Moon. There was a kind of glow around the Moon, and when the object moved into the area where the glowing halo of the moon ended, it [the object] vanished”, the Corner Brook resident said. He alleged that he remained in the same place for some minutes to see if he could see the UFO again, but it never appeared.

He also related this event with a telecommunications disruption that occurred the next day. “The next day, the entire west coast of Newfoundland experienced a mass cell phone and internet disruption, including some land lines. Not all cell carriers or internet providers were affected, but enough to warrant news reports, especially about calling emergency services. Disruption ended by late afternoon that day”, he commented.
